Stella Modern Italian Cuisine

This is by far my favorite place to dine. I frequent it so often that I can’t believe I haven’t left a review before. Out of the hundreds of times I’ve eaten here, I have yet to experience a bad meal. Even when I step outside of my usual order, the dishes never disappoint. Every staff member is an absolute delight—welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The owner runs this establishment with incredible care and intention, and it shows in every detail. From the thoughtfully designed space to the presentation and flavors of each dish, nothing feels overlooked. Her eye for design, commitment to quality, and dedication to creating a memorable dining experience truly set this restaurant apart. This is the kind of place that makes you want to keep coming back—not just for the food, but for the atmosphere, the people, and the unmistakable pride behind it all.

We LOVE Stella! We come here for almost every special occasion and some date nights too! We love everything on the menu and have never had a bad experience. The food is absolutely AMAZING! We always order extra food to take home because its so delicious! The prices are great and the quality of food has set the bar for all our other restaurants. This is a dont miss place!

I honestly had such a wonderful time here! Our server, Jacie, was genuinely the best I’ve had. She was so sweet and perfectly attentive! I had the meatballs for an appetizer, and oh my gosh, the sauce was phenomenal!! Our entrees and dessert were great as well. Will definitely be back!!

The short rib pasta was phenomenal, best I've ever had. The vanilla bean Gelato as well. The crust of the tart was very thick and the pears still had the skin on them which can be fibrous due to the pectin. I'd recommend peeling the pears and doing an open faced tart so it's not so bread heavy where it folds. The calamari was spectacular and I had never thought of adding olives and artichokes. The sauce needed to be either blended fully, like a traditional pepita, or an elevated marinara sauce. The texture of it made it hard to capture onto the calamari itself as it kept sliding off.

The pork chop was beautifully executed - nicely seared and plated with crispy Brussels sprouts and a creamy sauce drizzle that added richness to the dish. The clam chowder gnocchi was an innovative twist on traditional Italian, combining pillowy gnocchi with fresh clams in a light, flavorful chowder-style broth - a unique fusion that shows the kitchen's creativity. Even the bread service was above average, with quality artisanal bread and good olive oil for dipping.
